A 75th anniversary of any institution is a year of thank yous and commendations to every founder in some way or another. Dedication of AURORA has always stood for appreciation of a particular outstanding person that year. This year we ' d like to wrap up seventy five years in a book and present it to the past presidents and their families. A. M. Hills 1909-10 Educated at Oberlin and Yale, A. M. Hills was considered a philosopher and theologian. An interview with a committee appointed by Olivet founders made A. M. Hills the first president of Olivet. His scholarly talents as author and speaker made him a great teacher of ministerial students. E. F. Walker 1912-15 The presidency and person of E. F. Walker was summed up in the dedication of the first issue of the AURORA to him: Our beloved president whose cheerful self-denial and devotion to the school and whose faith and holy life are worthy of emulation. B.F. Haynes 1916-17 B. F. Haynes was born and educated in Tennessee. Before his presidency at Olivet, Haynes was editor of various holiness publications, including the Herald of Holiness.
